Hi guys,

So this year my school is putting on Bye Bye Birdie for our spring musical and I'm super excited to be a part of it. I really want to be Rose because I am hispanic :) and I love all the songs she sings and I can really play out her character in a fun and quirky way. I really want to get the role, but I need an a song that will really show my director (who is casting) that I want to be Rose. Any suggestions? I don't want it to be a basic song either, I want them to see that I really researched and I know my Broadway songs. I want to blow them away with my song choice and my monologue choice as well. I really want this role for my junior year!!!

 

Thank you all in advance!!

Those arent reasons to be cast. And asking strangers isn't research or showing how well you know bway.

The only thing that should matter is if you fit the director's vision of who she is. And since you won't likely know what that is, you will have to make the best choices you can.



I've been a HS director for almost 3 decades and have never cast a student base on what they knew/chose/wanted. I cast them because they are the best choice.
